Events

Whether you have a wedding, party, community or corporate event; I have the organizational skills to get it done, and the creative flare to get it done right.

Trained in theatre, I am adept at conceptualizing the whole event, creating a plan, working backwards from your important date, and making sure all the pieces come together, orchestrating order from chaos. Let me help you create the perfect setting, presentation, and atmosphere- from handling location, tent or furniture rentals, creating decorations, music, projection, and more.

Here are some events I have staged:

The Sonoma County Book Festival

The Rogers Wedding

SCA Poetry Performance At Kendal Jackson Winery

Multiple Staged Plays

Private Parties

Professional Meetings and Online Events

Conferences (IFTR, ATCF)
